So, first up, reading the stuff here would be helpful. Don't worry, it's not long.

If you look thru the Roleplaying Forums below You'll see allot of locations from Cirque des Perdue. You can post in there where your character is going to sleep, whether it's with another player character (PC) or if he's trying to head home to get a good nights sleep.

If you're one of the 'new folks' from last night, don't worry, your character's been put up in a cheap hotel room for a while, along with probably a couple changes of clothing fromt he local thrift stores, and a bit of cash for meals.

My character has been openly accepting roommates for a while now. If your looking to move on from the hotel room, that could be a way to go. Thing is, do you know that in character. I could see a rumor going that Noah seems lonely and likes to take in new changelings, but other than that, I don't know how you could claim that as in character knowledge.

You could always do a little digging in character. Ask around about your options?

I don't quite understand the time fluxes and where and what exactly to post. So... are there times where when you post it is sometime in the past or present?Can one simply post... anything? Or are they usually set up beforehand?

You can post pretty much what you want. Due to the exceedingly slow nature of board conversations relative to in-person ones, generally they're assumed to being when the thread was started (or indicated in the first post), though they may drag on for a week or two of posting.

Some threads are set up beforehand, for logistics, but a great number of threads are impromptu.

Every time you post a thread, you and whoever else is posting are narrating a part of a story, so as long as you don't reference things that your character wouldn''t know because it hasn't happened yet or they weren't there because they were somewhere else bc=ecause of the timing of some other thread-----You know what, just treat it like a book that is constantly being written, with your character(s) living in the world that it creates and subject to the metaphyical laws of said world, and you'll be fine.
